to accommodate the horses demanding
shelter. The demand for labor has
grown faster than the accommodations
could possibly grow. The city has
grown clear beyond the experimental
stage. 1t is great Commercial Center

THE GAMBLING HOUSES.
Some Pointers Which Show How tn,
Wind Blows.

Despite the general prediction made
two or three weeks ago that the Soder-
strom-M Morrison quarrel would close the
sporting houses of this city long before
the new law went into effect, all the
houses are still open. The establishment
at 1909 Farnam street has been re-
opened, though under a slightly different
management than before. MIR. Brucker
has retired from the firm and announces
he remains in Omaha. Inquiry at the
opes the fact that they are all running
toward closing up. The establishment
at 1903 Douglas street has been
repurchased by Mr.. Harry Burbridge,
the former proprietor. In conversation
last night with = reporter, who asked him
what course local sporting men were
going to pursue with regard to the new
law, he said: II would rather not say
anything about that For one, | shall
simply await Developments. l have
purchased this house and intend to run
it square as long Us can. The fact that
this house was accused by certain parties
of having brace box in it has hurt its

that such was ever the case. al thi 4 talk
about brace games in Omaha is nonsense

A Political Conspiracy.

1t is pretty certain from facts now at
hand that there is deliberate scheme-Or,
more properly, Il conspiracy-among the
democratic registrars of this city to shut
out republican voters. 1t is to put re-
publcans on their guard against this
conspiracy that the BEE publishes some
salient facts CONCERNING this scheme.
A secret meeting of the democratic
central committee- was held few nights
ago at which the matter OF registering
democratic voters was discussed. In
asmuch. as the entire machin.
tisan appointments made by the mayor,
is in the hands, of the democrats, it was
determined to run the machinery d.
rcctly in the interests of the democrats
and against the republicans. IL is under
stood that measures were taken to in
form the democratic registrars that they
were to facilitate in every way the regis
tration of democratic voters, ut the same
time that they were to throw every OBJ
stacle IN the way OF republicans register
ing. Furthermore, steps were taken to
have three or four men in each ward to
skirmish through the highways and by.
ways for unregistered democratic voters.
That the democratic registrars are car
rying out these instructions there is but
little doubt. In the first dis
trict of the Second ward Mr., Dom
nelly's queer behavior is noted
in communication printed elsewhere.
In the third ward worse state of affairs
exists, Republicans who have lived in
that ward ten or fifteen years are put to
the greatest annoyance in registering
their names. though they are perfectly
we'll known to the registrar. Democrats,
on the other hand, are given every possi-
BILE chance, many of them being sworn in
by proxy. Republicans in the other
wards, it Is said, are handicapped in a
similar manner. Voters of the republi-
can party should be on their guard against
this conspiracy, which, IL cot 'headed
OH, may prove successful.

Since the opening of the combined
Barnum and Forepaugh shows in
Madison-Square Garden it has been
visited by some Of the most promi-
nent people in the city ,amang whom
were Gen, w 4. Sherman, Roswell
P. Flower, ex-Mayor Grace, and
many others. The great number of
principal features to be seen in the
shows this year has been the occa-
sion of drawing q very large attend
ance during the week just past, and
the business done has equaled any
ever previously known in the Madi-
son-Square Garden, averaging over
$4,000 daily. The hairy family, the
elephants dancing the quadrille, the
Beckwiths in their aquatic entertain
ment, the Liltons, the three clown
elephants, the boxing elephant John
L. Sullivan, Nine. Gantlet and her
trained birds, and the horse Blondin
appear to have captured the public
by their originality and excellence.
As an entirety the show is the best
ever given here Netc York Times.
